Oh thanks Mermaidmel - I can certainly hang in there - well actually I want one now - but no I can wait.
If you could keep your feelers out for me that would be fantastic - you certainly seem to have a knack for sniffing out gorgeous fish. I've just had a look at yours.
Most aquatic shops will ask for a particular colour when they order Bettas. At least round here they do. I got Mr Bojangles by asking. They then kept getting yellow ones in for ages. He isnt what I call a true bright yellow but he thinks he is, and I love him.
